Life would be a whole lot easier if you could have a Pikachu to start out with, right? That is, if you don’t roll with Squirtle, Charmander or Bulbasaur as your go-to Pokémon. The fine folks at Polygon have done the legwork (let’s be real here, you are gonna have to walk as well) and have figured out how you can find yourself a Pikachu early on in your travels. There’s even a video to walk you through the harrowing journey to acquire Pikachu.

Unlocking Pikachu is apparently a lot easier than you’d think. At the beginning of the game simply deny the three available Pokémon a total of four times and Pikachu should appear, then you can go about acquiring him just like you usually would with the other three. Easy enough, right? It’ll just take a little bit of walking around to get him, but it’s not like that’s a huge deal considering Pokémon Go is all about walking.
